When Light Breaks Through: A Salem Witch Trials Story

About When Light Breaks Through: A Salem Witch Trials Story

When Light Breaks Through is free on Kindle October 28-30

In 1692, twelve-year-old Ann Putnam and the other ringleaders of the “afflicted children” bring devastation to Salem Village. Beginning as a daring, adolescent game, their accusations of witchcraft lead to twenty executions and scores of imprisonments, wreck families and create deep and bitter divisions among the people.

Five years later, Joseph Green, a young schoolteacher who is in love and eager to marry, takes on the ministry that no one else wants and with it the mission of healing Salem Village. With some dramatic actions that earn the people’s respect, Joseph makes progress in his quest to bring them together, but he knows that true fellowship will elude them while the hostility from the witch trials casts a shadow over every relationship and encounter. When the opportunity comes, Joseph helps Ann to make an appeal that could finally unite the people.

“When Light Breaks Through is a showcase for Murphy’s mastery of historical events and their consequences over years . . . an intimate and hopeful take on a horrific patch of history.” Booklife by Publisher’s Weekly

Influence Without the Ego by Ivan Cavric

About Influence Without the Ego by Ivan Cavric

In a world that rewards volume over vision, Influence Without the Ego offers a rare kind of strength — quiet, grounded, and enduring.

Drawing from timeless principles of human connection and modern behavioral insight, Ivan Cavric redefines what it means to lead, persuade, and inspire. This isn’t another book about getting ahead — it’s a guide to lifting others as you rise.

Across twenty-two deeply human principles, Cavric shows that real influence isn’t about control, charisma, or manipulation — it’s about presence, understanding, and respect. From “Stop Criticizing and Start Understanding” to “Leave People Better Than You Found Them,” each chapter blends wisdom, psychology, and real-world examples that illuminate the art of leading without losing your integrity.

You’ll learn how to:

Build trust that endures beyond position or power

Communicate with empathy while maintaining clarity

Transform criticism into understanding and resistance into cooperation

Inspire others to act from conviction, not compliance

Create relationships that thrive on respect, not control

With the elegance of a philosopher and the practicality of a seasoned mentor, Ivan Cavric delivers a message both timely and timeless: that influence rooted in character, not ego, outlasts every title, trend, and transaction.

Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, or simply trying to connect more meaningfully in a noisy world, Influence Without the Ego will help you cultivate the kind of presence that people trust — not because they must, but because they want to.

This is not a book about getting your way.
It’s about walking your path with purpose — and helping others find theirs.

His Assistant After Hours: A forbidden billionaire office romance by Tessa Vale

About His Assistant After Hours: A forbidden billionaire office romance by Tessa Vale

FREE October 17-19!

The office is off-limits. But what happens after hours… isn’t.

His eyes lingered on me a moment longer than necessary. Just long enough to make my skin heat up. He straightened, leaning slightly closer than needed to point at a chart. The faintest brush of his sleeve against mine sent an electric pulse through me.
“Good,” he murmured, then straightened completely and stepped back. “Keep it up.”
And just like that, he was gone.

Lena Hart knows the rules. She’s a dedicated assistant, professional, meticulous—and utterly aware of the line she can’t cross with her boss. Ethan Cross is everything she’s been warned about: brilliant, commanding, and impossibly tempting.
But when late nights, lingering looks, and small moments of closeness start to blur the line between professional and personal, both their carefully structured lives begin to unravel. Every stolen glance, every whispered word after hours pulls them deeper into a connection neither of them can ignore… and neither dares to admit.
With tension building behind closed doors and emotions too intense to ignore, His Assistant After Hours is a sizzling, slow-burn romance that will leave you craving more. Will they follow the rules—or risk it all?

A short, fast-paced novella perfect for readers who love a quick, sizzling escape.

Available in your local Amazon store—search ‘His Assistant After Hours by Tessa Vale.’

Crowds, Odds and Cash

About Crowds, Odds and Cash

Every day at racetracks around the world, thousands of bettors step up to the window with hope in their pockets. Some leave with winnings, many leave empty-handed, and almost all walk away convinced that the next time, luck will turn in their favor.

But horse racing is not about luck. It is about probability, information, and discipline.

The strategy you will learn in this book is grounded in two key ideas:
1. Expert Opinion (Morning Line): The track handicapper sets the morning line based on careful study. This represents the expert baseline.
2. Wisdom of the Crowds (Final Odds): As wagering unfolds, money flows toward certain horses. The closing odds represent the collective judgment of thousands of bettors.
When combined, these two forces point us toward horses whose chances are stronger than they first appeared. That is the selection engine.

In this book, you will learn not just the mechanics of the system, but the psychology, the pitfalls, and the practical tools that make it sustainable. You will see case studies, sample ledgers, and step-by-step guidance.

The racetrack is a place of noise, speed, and chance. But with the right structure, you can cut through the noise and play the game with clarity.

This is your road map. Follow it with discipline, and the results will follow.

Masked Seduction by K.C. Crowne


About Featured Book: Masked Seduction by K.C. Crowne

She’s my assistant. Off-limits. Entirely untouchable.
Until the night I catch her slipping into my den of pleasure.

At the office, Jenna’s a professional hellraiser.
Sharp tongue. No fear.
Always testing the thin line of my control.
But the second she steps into my underground sex club—
masked, dripping in sinful curves, and drawing every filthy stare in the room—
I f*cking break.

She’s mine to ruin.
One night should’ve been enough. It wasn’t.

She has no idea the man claiming her in the shadows is the same bastard tearing her down at her desk.
Her Bratva boss.

And she sure as hell doesn’t know the Agosti crime family wants her blood spilled for my sins.

But Abram Vasiliev?
He doesn’t share.
He doesn’t forgive.
And he never loses.

Especially not her.

Unconditional: A Story of Fatherhood, Lost Love, and Lifelong Friendship by Stephen Kogon

About Unconditional: A Story of Fatherhood, Lost Love, and Lifelong Friendship by Stephen Kogon

One decision could rewrite Matthew’s life—or forever alter a child’s future.

Matthew, an indecisive bachelor and team photographer for the Arizona Cardinals, never imagined parenthood. But when his brother’s sudden death leaves a newborn daughter stranded, he faces an impossible choice: walk away or become a father overnight.

Meeting baby Allie changes everything. The moment he first sets eyes on her, Matthew wants to be her father—and his world, once filled with the thrill of sports and the comfort of close friendships, evolves into something far more profound. With the help of his loyal best friend Sherry, he navigates the challenges of single fatherhood, leaving behind his career and romantic prospects to embrace a life of responsibility and love.

Over eighteen years, this emotionally rich narrative explores themes of parental love, sacrifice, and resilience. As life throws enormous challenges in their path—some forcing Allie to grow up faster than she hoped—their bond only deepens.

When the world tests them, will their unconditional love be enough to guide them through?

The Day After His Crucifixion by Merikay McLeod

About The Day After His Crucifixion by Merikay McLeod

While the crucifixion/resurrection story has long been told through the lens of male disciples, The Day After His Crucifixion centers on the often overlooked, yet deeply impactful testimonies of women who Yeshua the Nazarene healed and helped and drew into his circle. Through their eyewitness reports familiar gospel events spring to life.

As women usually do following a devastating loss, these followers of the Promised One gather the day after Yeshua’s crucifixion to comfort each other through sharing food and memories of his powerful life and ministry. Their personal, heart-felt stories reinforce faith and offer comfort.

They reveal Yeshua as they experienced him – the young, vibrant teacher and healer. Each experience is unique. Taken together, their stories embody the reality of forgiveness, acceptance, belonging, and the message of God’s kingdom come.

Sexting the Coach: A Silver Fox Hockey Romance by Mia Mara


About Featured Book: Sexting the Coach: A Silver Fox Hockey Romance by Mia Mara

When I collide with the hot, older hockey coach during a team-building drill—and land on top of him—I feel it.
The forbidden tension. The heat… And the pain he’s trying to hide.

Later, I examine his secret groin injury—hot skin under my hands—and it awakens something reckless in me.

I should never have sent him that sext.

Next day? He corners me in the locker room, hard and unapologetic.
“I’m not going to hide what your text did to me,” he growls.

I should’ve shut it down.
But when the team owner catches us about to kiss, I panic and blurt out a lie.
“We’re dating.”

Now we’re skating on thin ice.
The team’s getting suspicious.
And my heart’s up against the boards.

Because I’m not just faking a relationship with the coach—
I’m carrying his baby.

And if anyone finds out?
It’s pucking game over for both of us.
